«Vecchi, folli e ribelli» is Giampaolo Pansa's essay on old age, published by Rizzoli in hardcover (294 pages, in Italian).
Pansa champions the active role of older people in contemporary Italy and dismantles clichés about fragility. With a partly autobiographical perspective, he speaks of vitality, the desire to live, and also loneliness, poverty and health, seeing in the elderly a social and political force that refuses to be invisible.
Subtitled «Il piacere della vita nella terza età», it was published on September 15, 2016.
For essay readers and those seeking a perspective on aging in today's Italy.
Giampaolo Pansa was an Italian journalist, commentator, and novelist. Most of his writings were rooted in modern or contemporary history, notably with regard to the Italian Resistance and the years of Benito Mussolini.
